🌱 PhD position available in my group at #AUFOOD!
We are looking for an excellent PhD candidate to join an exciting project on:
SWEET transporters as regulators of carbon allocation and drought resilience in tomato
Drought is one of the major threats to crop productivity under climate change. But yield loss is not only about photosynthesis. It is also about how plants allocate carbon — how sugars move from source leaves to fruits, and how this balance changes when water becomes limiting.
In this project, the PhD candidate will investigate how SWEET sugar transporters regulate carbon assimilation and partitioning in tomato under drought conditions. The project will combine plant physiology, molecular biology, functional genomics, carbohydrate/metabolic analyses, and CRISPR/Cas9-based approaches.
The broader goal is to understand how molecular mechanisms of sugar transport shape whole-plant drought responses and how this knowledge can help us develop more resilient fruit crops.
The project will be carried out at the Department of Food Science, Aarhus University, Denmark, with me as main supervisor and my colleague Ana LoboAna Lobo as co-supervisor.
This position is particularly relevant for candidates with a strong background in plant biology, plant physiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, or related fields. Experience with plant physiology measurements, gene expression analysis, phenotyping, data analysis, CRISPR, transcriptomics, or carbohydrate profiling would be an advantage. Applicants are not expected to have experience in all areas, but should have a strong interest in plant molecular physiology and a willingness to work across disciplines.
📍 Dept. of Food Science, Aarhus University, Denmark
